c. Permissions: Leave these settings at their default values.

Figure 9-4. List of subfolders

Note that the three subfolders you created appear under the Fundamental folder. Also,

notice the folder-navigation links that appear above the Search edit box. Looking at these links,

you can easily see the current folder’s position in the hierarchy. You can jump to any folder by

clicking its name in the series of navigation links.

Now follow the preceding steps to create subfolders called Analyst1, Analyst2, and

Analyst3 under the Technical main folder. Next, you’ll learn to store documents in the folder

hierarchy that you have created so far.
